at Webster University. Sarah was a long-term care administrator when she began teaching

in Aging studies at Cornell U., aging studies at the University of South Florida and
teaching experience at Ithaca College enabled her to add Gerontology courses to her
teaching schedule for Webster. Continued work and study allowed her to develop the
online course Economic Issues for Older Adults in 2010 and subsequently the Alzheimer's
Disease and Related Disorders course which she also teaches. Sarah enjoys staying
up to date with the ever-changing information surrounding these important issues for
elders today.
